Your Perfect Solution to Combination Hair!

Thursday, May 21, 2015

Like I've mentioned in my previous blogpost for Essential, I have really oily scalp and dry ends AKA the combination hair.

Just like our skin, having oily and dry zones is known as ‘Combination Skin’, hair
that exhibits mixed behaviour like oily roots and dry ends is known as
‘Combination Hair’.

Rich moisturizing shampoos target the dry ends but
may be too rich for the scalp, resulting in build-up that makes the scalp oily.
Moreover depending on the thoroughness of scalp massage during shampooing,
the scalp build-up may not be thoroughly washed of, further causing the scalp to
feel oily in a shorter time.

For people with combination hair, they might use two shampoos to target the two problems – light, clarifying shampoos target oily roots but cause hair ends to be dry. On the other hand, Rich moisturizing shampoos that target the dry ends may be too rich for the scalp, resulting in build-up that makes the scalp oily.

Moreover depending on the thoroughness of scalp massage during shampooing, the scalp build-up may not be thoroughly washed of, further causing the scalp to feel oily in a shorter time.

HOW?!?!!?!

With the optimum combination of Smart Cuticle
Care & Sebum Cleansing Technology in the Light Finish
Volumizing and Deep Cleansing Care variants, you can now achieve moisturised hair ends while maintaining a refreshed,
breathable scalp!

I have actually never tried the light finish & volumizing one before because I've actually been using the deep cleansing care one for a really time and it's serving me really well. But now that I've tried out the light finish & volumizing one, I think this two comes great together! Now my ends feel more nourished now :D

Also, Essential is giving out
a massage shampoo brush with purchase of
shampoo and conditioner which is a common haircare tool in Japan and is
used by the majority of Japanese women to help
remove dirt and sebum more effectively from the
scalp. The massaging action on the scalp also
helps improve blood circulation and promote
relaxation. Shiok ah no need to pay so much just for them to wash my hair and massage my head lol.

Pick your colors!!

I PICKED THE PINK ONE!!

The design of the brush is great for people with manicure like me so you wouldn't have to worry about your manicures (especially those with crystals and gems) getting tangled between your hair!

How to use the brush?

1.) Wet & Shampoo hair as usual.

2.) Hold brush handle between index and third finger and rub the bristles onto scalp gentle from side to side with small movements. Do not move the brush in circular motions as this will cause tangles.

3.) Rinse off shampoo and apply conditioner as per normal.
